ok... so sounds like once the car is warmed up it's ok? Only idles for **** when it's cold?

So it's a problem when running in Open Loop
there are no SES lights right? (can you scan to make sure there is definetly nothing... maybe codes that don't set a light)
MAF, TPS and IAT are all plugged in?
Engine Sensor Fuse isn't blown?

The car runs in open loop when you first start the car sice hte O2s aren't warmed up...

sensors it needs for this are MAF, TPS, MAP, IAT, ECT, and engine speed... so check the connections at these sensors

once it's running ok have you tried going WOT or have you not wanted to chance it?

Yeah it runs great i had it WOT and drove it far. The cold start is ok its when i start it hot it wont run until i restart or and hit the throttle. Its strange cause it runs perfect after that. It has no SES but i will have someone scan it anyway to check.

Default Car Stalling

I have been searching through the threads to see if anyone else is having a stalling issue on a basically stock car. My 1999 Z28 will stall or will idle like **** after the car sits for 5 hours or more. It doesn't do this everyday however. This happens every other day or every couple days. The car will also surge as well then stall when I come to a stop sign. I know its probably a sensor issue but Im not sure which sensor. I read another thread about stalling in here but all those guys changed had H/C or a different TB/Intake. Mine is stock.
